Crafted entirely from highly polished chrome-plated metal, it displays a cool, silvery tone with a mirror-like surface. The articulated construction features two adjustable arms connected by visible black tension springs and joints, allowing for precise positioning of the light. The domed shade, equipped with ventilation holes and a small handle for adjustment, emphasizes the lamp’s utilitarian character, while the heavy, round base ensures stability. The geometric, angular form and absence of additional decoration are characteristic of the industrial and utilitarian design language prevalent in Poland during the era. The lamp is preserved in very good condition: only minor surface scratches and a slight patina are visible, with no major damage or signs of restoration. All elements – including wiring and joints – appear original. This lamp carries the memory of Poland’s transformative 1980s – a time when raw materials and functionality were not only an aesthetic choice but a necessity. The metallic sheen of the chrome reflects fragments of daily life, while the mechanical construction quietly hints at diligence, rationality, and order. Its angular silhouette and exposed springs evoke the atmosphere of design offices and workshops, where reliable, precise light was essential. The lamp speaks in the voice of an era that valued the honesty of materials and the practical dimension of design. It could find its place on a desk in an
